Groupthink
(Wikipedia)
Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs
within a group of people, in which the desire for harmony
or conformity in the group results in an incorrect or deviant decision-making
outcome.
Groupthink
Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative ideas or viewpoints, and by isolating themselves
from outside influences.Loyalty to the group requires individuals to avoid raising controversial issues or
alternative solutions, and there is loss of individual creativity, uniqueness and
independent thinking.
Groupthink
The dysfunctional group dynamics of the "ingroup" produces an "illusion of invulnerability" (an inflated certainty
that the right decision has been made). Thus the "ingroup"
significantly overrates their own abilities in decision-making, and
significantly underrates the abilities of their opponents (the "outgroup").
